Thanks to you Phil I've taken up bird photography. I don't really have the long lenses that would make me a serious birder but I do enjoy capturing hummingbirds, stellar jays, scrub jays and my favorite grey headed sparrows here in Oregon. I always admire your bird photographs and now know the patience it requires to get sharp shots. My longest focal length is a cropped sensor 55-200mm Fujinon F/3.5-5.8.
